Not bad from the boy of Sao Paulo

Kind of sad to see that even for their biggest ever superstar the Brazilian federation isn't able to provide a cool suit with 'Brazilian vibes'  

 

I guess at least it's better than their million variations on 'white with a tiny touch of green hidden away'.

Cooper Puckett, that´s a nice name

Hirscher managed to qualify after 6 years without competing.

In their defense, I've seen much worse in other sports.

Dreamt of one day skiing when playing drums in a samba band in the favela and watching the Olympics on his grandfather's old black and white TV.

Yeah, but why always make it so....boring? I mean, I have a suitcase upstairs that is entirely full with Brazilian race suits from different years and they are more plain and white than my very Dutch skin  

 

Brazil has got one of the most colorful options out there in terms of flags and such, make some bright yellow and green the emphasis or something. Nathan Alborghetti got it, some years ago:

Same for Steve Hiestand, who designed and made his own suit and it was awesome, it made it very clear at the first sight that he competes for Brazil. Braathen's suit or the many suits we have at home here could be from like 50+ different nations if you see it from more than 5 meters away.
